And by no means least we shall round of the talks with Nemi Walding from the University of Hull (Catastrophic Flows). Nemi will be exploring the transport, deposition and erosion of pyroclastic sediment during explosive eruptions.

From around 20:15 you'll be able to see Rodriguo De Sainz Simpson from the University of Manchester (Earth Sciences at the University of Manchester) who will be talking to us about the Sherwood Sandstone as a potential for CO2 storage.

Every morning we open a window to the #YorkshireDales and share some of our favourite views, like this of #KilnseyCrag .

Legend tells of a witch called Old Nan who lived beneath crag. It was rumoured she could tell fortunes and had a stall on Skipton Market 🧙‍♀️

Our fourth speaker will be Joel Lozano of the University of Durham (Durham Earth Science). His presentation will take us back to the Permian and to the Zechstein Sea not only to look at the depositional history but also explore the potential these rocks have for CO2 storage.

Earth Sciences at the University of Manchester Earth & Environment The third talk of the evening will be from Thomas Johnson of the University of Hull (@CatFlows_Hull). Thomas will be looking into what makes pyroclastic flows flow so terribly well.

We are back, the Geobiology group at UHH - MIN-Fakultät have a organised an 11 week, free, online webinar series starting Tue Oct 25th at 16:15 CEST with Prof. Crispin Little with 'Evolution of Vent Communities'. Full program and registration here: geo.uni-hamburg.de/en/geologie/fo…

Earth Sciences at the University of Manchester Next up we've got Georgia Barker from the University of Leeds (@SEELeeds). She'll be talking to us about the effects that grain size and pH has on radioactive contamination.

First up we have Maulana Aditama from the University of Manchester (Earth Sciences at the University of Manchester). He'll be using 2D and 3D seismic data to take us through the tectonic and stratigraphic history of the carbonates of the Irish Sea Basin.

We're pleased to let all of our visitors know that the museum will reopen tomorrow as normal from 10am 🤗

We've completed a thorough inspection of the building and we were luckily unaffected by the fire that broke out in the Leonardo building across the road.

Just one more day until our next indoor meeting!

Join us for an evening webinar on October 26th as we showcase the breadth of postgraduate research taking place in Universities across the North!

In the rocks around Skipton you won't find any ammonites but you'll find their distant ancestors!
This #FossilFriday we bring you Merocanites. This fantastically preserved specimen shows the iconic smooth sutures which distinguish this as a goniatite.
